BCS or Bust

Do you guys think that our fans have adopted the "BCS or Bust" mentality, so that many people consider the season a failure of sorts unless we go to a Tier 1 bowl game? Judging by the sheer number of tickets for sale on the Ticket Exchange, it doesn't appear that LSU fans have much desire to travel to the Capital One Bowl, despite it being the best we could've hoped for outside of an at-large BCS berth (which we all knew wasn't gonna happen).

Probably...and it's kinda sad.

No doubt. We are spoiled.

No, be in the hunt for the SECCG or its a bust. You can't finish 5 games out from an SECCG appearance and then 3 games out from an SECCG appearance and be satisfied.
For those that are, Ole Miss needs fans.

No. It's not the fact that LSU didn't make it. I don't think fans would be as upset if we would have played hard and were beat by a better team. We were out coached in our losses. The team is playing below it's talent level ... that's all on coaching, and it's unacceptable for a coach making $4million/year.
If LSU played hard, and looked good in losses it wouldn't be a big deal, but the games we lost were winnable, and we looked awful all season long. That's why fans are pissed.

Not necessarily. The season is a failure if we fall far short of accomplishing any of our goals, look like shite in doing so, and lose one or more games that we shouldn't without winning any that we shouldn't.
9-3 isn't automatically bad every year. It sucked balls this year. And I don't care if you're 11 and fricking 1, you don't lose a game like we did against Ole Miss and have a good coach or a successful season.

LSU football right now offers no promise of excitement or success in the future. When that is the case, interest fades. What bowl we're in has nothing to do with it. If we had somehow snagged an at-large bid to the Fiesta Bowl or something, I suspect people would feel pretty much the same as they do now.

I think it's beyond that. I think its NC or bust. The good thing about this is that it sets higher expectations, which will raise the standard of play. On the other hand, it gets annoying.
